Best of Me

Last few nights ain't get much sleep
Thoughts coming in, tryna mess with me
Hold me down, gotta hold my ground
Tryna test my peace, got me 10 feet deep
I'm quite new to the Richmond scene
I'm taking over the drivers seat
Chain my feat, better leave me be
Better lock me up to protect this beat
Trash those thoughts that you had of me
I'm not here to accept a seat
Hand outs, No, No I don't like free
Sweep that carpet beneath your feet
Look at me and be proud of me
I can't deal with you doubting me
Moments like these don't happen often
Take it for granted and you just might see
Now woah, back from intro speech
I'm quite hollow I need some bleach
To cleanse these seams, flowing out through means
That can't receive through my complex dreams
Setting up each theme like its incomplete
But the truth is you just can't see heat
Open up that box and I can't believe
Pandoras tryna get a hold of me
And it's cold to me, yeah I need my coat
Got my hands in my pockets while I tread through snow
Man I opened up, but I still feel low
Pull the hood so the back of my mind feels closed
Then I shut my eyes to the storm I formed
Thinking its ok to ignore my lord
Thinking its ok when I know I'm wrong
Pointing fingers at my God like what's taking so long
I want to be off this rock in a place with him
But until then, I got to make a place for him
So I write my lines to pursue this trend
And my Gods getting every ounce of grace from this
Can't take my faith, can't take his throne
You can have my money, God gave me a loan
And its spiritual and maybe kinda lyrical
So go ahead, take my life
But I still gotta glow

Take my job you can have ends meet
Take my hands go produce that beat
Take my legs go and run that meet
Take what you want and leave the rest to me
You'll only see what's left of me
My God sees what's left to me
Took what you did now you gone see
I'll still be giving the best of me

Yeah 22 years old
Man I'm feeling kinda bold with a little nice flow
But I can't be cool, if I get too cool
Might feel content and I don't condone
That goal I reject it
If I feel like I don't need my god protect me
Imma be reckless
Imma be stressing
Imma be guessing
Imma be restless
In my space lightweight it seems tryna move my feet how to reach that feat
Storms been long gone and I can't release
How I feel knowing that this was just my dream
I may be wrong but I might not be
I'm a soldier of christ, find the knight in me
Might take some time but I will succeed
Might take my home but just leave my team

Take my job you can have ends meet
Take my hands go produce that beat
Take my legs go and run that meet
Take what you want and leave the rest to me
You'll only see what's left of me
My God sees what's left to me
Took what you did now you gone see
I'll still be giving the best of me
Yeah, Best of me
Took what you did now you gone see
I'll still be giving the best of me
Best of me
Took what you did now you gone see
I'll still be giving the best of me

I got something that I want to be
A person that I need to be
A purpose that I'm feeling like I need my God to oversee
And if I'm never make it, I guess it was never meant to be
But imma keep on writing till the day my fingers start to bleed
That'll never be the end
Blood is something in the flesh
And spiritually I will continue, writings never been the end
Thinking that'll be my end, I promise you don't know me friend
Father left a promise for me that'll never see an end
Wooh
I just wanna write to others in this world
I just wanna be a haven for the hurt
I just wanna slay on every beat I earn
Best of me is something that I've gotta earn
Who I am to me should not be your concern
Best of me is something that I've gotta learn
Maybe kinda young but I will not deter
Put me under fire and I'll never burn

Take my mind and the peace it craves
Take my heart you can have that pain
Take my life and put it in the grave
But I'm already born how my God has made me
You wont take away the man he raised
You wont push out the soul he craves
You can take my flesh and the life I claim
But I'll fight for his kingdom till the end of days
